The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

In the Periodic Table, the minimum ionisation energy is found at alkali metals. Hence sodium (electronic configuration $\left.=1 s^{2} 2 s^{2} 2 p^{6} 3 s^{1}\right)$ has the lowest ionisation energy.
Note : - Ionisation energy is the amount of energy required to remove an electron from the outermost shell an isolated atom.

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes - Classification

Classification of Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are as follows:

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on the Basis of the Number of Halogen Atoms:

These are further classified as mono, di, or polyhalogen (tri-,tetra-, etc.) compounds depending on whether they contain one, two or more halogen atoms in their structures. For example;

  • Monohaloalkane
  • Dihaloalkane
  • Trihaloalkane

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on Compounds Containing sp3 C—X Bond (X= F, Cl, Br, I)

This class includes:

  • Alkyl halides or haloalkanes (R—X)
  • Allylic halides
  • Benzylic halides

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on Compounds Containing sp2 C—X Bond

This class includes:

  • Vinylic halides
  • Aryl halides
